GLM-5.3 has arrived, charging $1.40 for input and $4.40 for output per million tokens. Don’t let your roadmap get crushed by hidden burn rates.

- **The Trap:** Output tokens drain margins faster than inputs.
- **The Fix:** Stop benchmarking latency alone. Track token-per-feature costs.
- **The Reality:** Scale requires strict constraints. Optimize your generation flows today or throttle your future growth.
